Synopsis

Gin Maeda is a student who enjoys drawing graffitis at an abandoned apartment complex building near his school, with his friends and acolytes, Teppei and Kon-chan. One night, while they're at work on one of their masterpieces, they're interrupted by a mysterious ghastly pale-skinned woman who scares them. In the process of fleeing, Gin loses his sketchbook to her and then from this point onwards, his life will change in a major way! Some nude painting with his beautiful and attractive art teacher? Welcome to Season of Alabaster.

Despite giving this a 6.5/10 (which could have easily been an 8/10, sadly...), I'd recommend you read 'Alabaster no Kisetsu'.

Season of Alabaster is one of those art about art kind of manga.

This one in particular I thought was well paced and well written enough to stand by giants of the genre like Blue Period. I liked the characters, I liked the pace and tone, and I liked the slight twist on the usual premise - a focus on nude art and youthful love.

I also felt it had a great grasp ...
